Reporters often encounter danger on the job. Call it survival journalism – the fine line some journalists walk between reporting the truth and not getting killed. Four female reporters were recently honored for courage in journalism by the International Women's Media Foundation. We had the pleasure of talking to one of the honorees.

Parisa Hafezi is the Tehran Bureau Chief for Thomson Reuters news agency. Last year, she was abducted as punishment for reporting controversial news about President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. To this day, Reuters offices in Tehran remain under constant surveillance. But Parisa remains, even after being threated and targeted by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. She talked with BackStory about why she stays.

Insurance companies don't have to pay now. (If you're using )Somewhat silimar to a drug test after a work injury. If they test dirty, the Insurance company is off the hook .It's the loophole that grants immunity, and there's no reason to hide it from the stockholders or the press any longer.No more cover-up.Ah, the power of lobbyists.If you dabble in Insurance stocks, your portfolio will see a boost.

Keralafarmer. Yes, the laws are pretty much clear on these sort of hate meognr articles. Be it religion or caste based hate meognring. If any writer writes such obscene articles on any news magazine, he and the publisher will be pulled in by the police. Such rules exist for blogs also. Arguments like "blog-ile prashnangal blog-iloode paranju theerkanam aasaya samvadam venam veruthe police-ine vilikkaruthu" are just college-level people's arguments. If some one feels that blogs etc. are out of bound for police and law enforcement agencies, then they are sadly mistaken. And if any one is using blog as a media to hurl abuses against any one based on caste/religion he should be stopped from doing so.
